Chapter 36: Too Embarrassing!

“Scared?” Gu Zhiyan gently patted her back, a gentlemanly gesture to soothe her emotions.

Jian Yao came to her senses, straightening up and stepping out of his arms. “A little.”

She was indeed scared.

But it was her own focus that scared her.

In the moment she fell and was caught by Gu Zhiyan, the thought that ran through her mind was that Gu Zhiyan definitely had abs!

Oh my god!

Too embarrassing!

In the living room.

Jian Yao sat on the sofa, still “shaken.”

Gu Zhiyan pushed a glass of honey water towards Jian Yao. “Have some water, to calm down.”

Jian Yao lowered her head and took a sip of the water.

Seeing that her complexion had improved, Gu Zhiyan glanced at his watch. “You sit for a while, I’ll go cook.”

Jian Yao held the cup with both hands, looking up in a daze. “Ah? You’re cooking?”

A domineering CEO like him, shouldn’t he usually have a maid and a butler?

This kind of character usually has a few classic lines.

For example:

“You are the first woman Mr. Gu has brought home.”

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Mr. Gu smile so happily.”

Gu Zhiyan didn’t know that the person sitting in front of him, while physically present, had her thoughts far away. He rolled up his sleeves and nodded.

“I don’t like having other people in the house when I’m home alone, so I usually cook myself. The maid comes over regularly to clean.”

Jian Yao nodded understandingly.

The domineering CEO has a little quirk, normal, normal.

She finished the honey water in a few gulps and stood up. “I’ll help you.”

She often cooks herself, although she’s not good at Western food, she can still handle some simple tasks.

Gu Zhiyan’s action of rolling up his sleeves paused, his crimson lips slightly curled upwards. “Okay.”

Although it was said to be helping, Gu Zhiyan only let her do some washing of vegetables, not letting her touch any work involving knives or fire.

Contrary to expectations, Gu Zhiyan’s cooking movements and steps were unexpectedly smooth and pleasing to the eye.

Gu Zhiyan’s physique was a natural clothes hanger, tall and leggy, broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted, with perfect proportions as if he had walked out of a two-dimensional world.

Especially when he was wearing an apron…

Jian Yao suddenly understood why men liked to look at uniforms…

While waiting for the mushroom soup to boil, she couldn’t help but take out her phone and take a picture from behind.

No need to find any angles, a casual shot was a blockbuster.

As soon as she finished taking the picture, she saw Gu Zhiyan pick up a spoon and gently stir the soup in the pot, saying in a low voice, “Dinner is ready.”

On the dining table, two steaks and mushroom soup were neatly arranged.

Jian Yao waved her phone in her hand, seeking Gu Zhiyan’s opinion. “Can I take a picture?”

Gu Zhiyan’s cooking!

A once-in-a-lifetime, once-in-three-lifetimes series!

She didn’t know if she could eat it a second time in her life, so she had to take a picture to commemorate it!

Gu Zhiyan was amused by her actions and nodded happily. “You can, but there’s no plating, it might not look good.”

Jian Yao shook her head like a rattle. “No, no, it’s great!”

What was she, how could she dare to dislike the food cooked by Mr. Gu.

Jian Yao found the right angle and took several pictures before she shyly smiled at Gu Zhiyan. “I’m done.”

“Hmm.” Gu Zhiyan sat down gracefully, Jian Yao sat down opposite him and struggled with the steak in front of her.

Gu Zhiyan moved his cut steak to Jian Yao’s side, his gaze falling on her fair cheek. “Try it, see if it’s delicious.”

Jian Yao face her expectantgaze , picked up a piece of steak and put it into her mouth. The fresh, fragrant  and tendertaste burst in her mouth.

Her beautiful peach blossom eyes lit up instantly, her long eyelashes fluttering. “Delicious!”

Gu Zhiyan curled his lips. “Glad you like it.”

He forked a piece of steak that Jian Yao had cut crookedly and put it in his mouth, chewing gently.

The food he usually ate seemed to taste even better because of the person across from him.

Jian Yao finished the last sip of mushroom soup, put down her bowl, and quietly waited for Gu Zhiyan to finish eating opposite her.

The same knives, forks, and food, in Gu Zhiyan’s hands, seemed to be separated by a layer, elegant like a European medieval nobleman.

Jian Yao propped her chin with both hands, her eyes shining as she looked at him.

If she had a tail, it would definitely be wagging in the air right now.

Gu Zhiyan had been raised under the watchful eyes of everyone since he was born.

But now, being watched by Jian Yao, his palms couldn’t help but sweat.

He had finally achieved his goal of getting her attention, but eating was, after all, one of the three vulgar things.

He was afraid that Jian Yao wouldn’t like it.

This feeling was strange, painful yet joyful.

Jian Yao watched Gu Zhiyan finish his meal, then got up to clean the dishes. “You cooked the meal, so I’ll take care of the dishes.”

There was a dishwasher at home, so Gu Zhiyan didn’t refuse.

Saying she would take care of them, it was really just putting them in the dishwasher.

Jian Yao cleaned up the kitchen in two minutes, washed her hands, and looked at the clock.

Seven forty-five.

“It’s almost time!”

The boldness she felt when she was just watching videos had dissipated, and Jian Yao couldn’t help but feel intimidated again.

It’s just that, this game, she has a bit of a shadow…

Gu Zhiyan got up and took her to the side courtyard’s gaming room.

One wall of the room was a full-wall display case, filled with many medals and trophies, as well as various gun figurines.

On the other side, two black and pink computers and gaming chairs were placed side by side, with two tablets and a set of live streaming equipment next to them. The pink set was clearly new.

Gu Zhiyan asked Jian Yao to sit first, then turned on the computer to adjust the equipment.

Jian Yao sat in the chair, her gaze drawn to the wall full of glory and figurines.

Gu Zhiyan noticed her gaze, looked up from a pile of data cables, “You can take them out and play if you like, the cabinet isn’t locked.”

Jian Yao looked at the trophies and medals in the glass display case, her voice soft and sweet, “I’m fine just looking.”

This was something Gu Zhiyan had worked hard to win, she was afraid she would accidentally break it.

However, taking pictures was okay.

She held her phone, tilted her head and looked at Gu Zhiyan, “Can I take pictures?”

Gu Zhiyan plugged in the last plug, looked up, “Of course.”

Meeting Jian Yao’s bright eyes, he couldn’t help but smile.

When would she finally realize that she was already Mrs. Gu?

This kind of small matter, actually didn’t need to be reported to him.

This was also her home.

Jian Yao was still a little dazed when she logged onto the game with the tablet.

The official live stream hadn’t started yet, but the live stream was already open.

They had done some pre-promotion, so as soon as the live stream started, a large number of fans poured in, and the number continued to rise.

Gu Zhiyan didn’t turn on his camera, and the fans in the live stream were protesting.

” Gu Zhiyan, you have such a face, you were born to be seen, listen, turn on the camera.”

“Brother, you turn on the camera, I won’t watch for free, I’ll get you some viewers.”

” Gu Zhiyan, I’m not asking you to show your face, just let us see your handsome hands!”

” Gu Zhiyan, you’re really stingy, you’re just a handsome face, what are you afraid of?”
